This past week

Monday and Tuesday brought us violent thunderstorms.  Sometimes when the thunder would boom overhead our house would shake. It left little Rue quite distraught. 

By Wednesday they were cooped up so Christopher Robin decided to venture outside to get the mail.  Little Rue of course wanted to follow.

When they didn't return,  I decided to check on them. I found them having a ball chasing wild cherries down the ditch that they threw in off the sidewalk.

 

They did eventually make it back inside, drenched, but holding the mail.

 

Thursday came with cold weather, which brought a polliwog pond full of ice, which to Christopher Robin's delight made an ice road!

So he and Rue spent the morning barefoot, in coats, rolling trucks on the ice road.

 

But of course several cracked through the ice and had to be rescued

with the help of my sterling silver wedding utensils.

 

Sunday brought a very warm, sunny, and cozy afternoon, which equated to a nice nap on the couch for the Dr., and a very pleasant nap for me in our bedroom. 

 

When I woke up I found Jace playing Bad Piggies on my phone,  the Dr. still sleeping,  and little Miss Rue....

 

 well, she had dressed herself in last years pajamas and was having the most splendid time

throwing stream after stream of toilet paper

 

 

right into the polliwog pond.

But if you were 2.9 years old and this cute, wouldn't you do that too on a sunny afternoon, when left all alone??
